[Humanitarian ideals and modern medicine].
The philosophical heritage of T.G. Masaryk is still meaningful today. His work contains principles of humanism which always influenced and will influence above all medicine in its human mission. It is deserving that after many years Masaryk's Humanitarian Ideals were re-published, the ideas of which can be applied and elaborated in all medical disciplines, in theoretical disciplines, as well as in prophylactic or experimental medicine. Clinical medicine is also imbued by the principles of humanism most closely where the object of interest is man as patient and the subsequent state of his physical mental and social welfare. Human health thus becomes the prerequisite of self-realization in creative work and the basic prerequisite of life in the cultural, spiritual and material sphere. Masaryk's philosophical and theoretical heritage stimulates the development of principles of humanism in modern contemporary medicine.
